CHICAGO (CBS) – Loyola University officials confirmed a missing MBA student’s body was found in Belmont Harbor this morning.

CBS 2’s Mike Puccinelli reports police were called to the northern end of Belmont Harbor around 9 a.m., and pulled the body of a man in his 20s from the water.

Not long after the body was recovered from Belmont Harbor, police cancelled a missing person alert for 25-year-old Christopher Evans, who went missing Sunday morning, when he was at Roscoe’s Tavern with friends, and began behaving strangely.

A Loyola University spokeswoman Maeve Kiley confirmed the body found in the Harbor was Evans.

The body was taken to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office, which will conduct an autopsy.

Evans’ mother, Anita Evans, had said police told her that someone could have slipped something into her son’s drink at Roscoe’s Tavern on Sunday. Friends said he was acting strangely in the bar before he ran east on Roscoe Street.

Acknowledging his state has “come under the harsh glare of criticism” over a controversial new “religious freedom” law, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said he wants state lawmakers to pass new legislation that makes clear businesses cannot discriminate against gay and lesbian couples.

Police said the robbers used a prop in at least two holdups in the Fuller Park neighborhood. They set up a road construction barrel in the street, and when a motorist gets out of his or her car to move it aside, the robbers pounce.
